	Gothic Art and Architecture - MSN Encarta
		Gothic Art and Architecture, religious and secular buildings, sculpture, stained glass, and illuminated manuscripts and other decorative arts produced in Europe during the latter part of the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century).
		The Gothic Age ended with the advent of the Renaissance in Italy about the beginning of the 15th century, although Gothic art and architecture continued in the rest of Europe through most of the 15th century, and in some regions of northern Europe into the 16th century.
		The particular phase of Gothic architecture that was to lead to the creation of the northern cathedrals, however, was initiated in the early 1140s in the construction of the chevet of the royal abbey church of Saint-Denis, the burial church of the French kings and queens near the outskirts of Paris.

	French Gothic Cathedrals
		The late half of the 13th century was dominated by this style of swirling, organic stone sculpture and ray-like stained glass.
		Late Gothic structures are most prevalent in the Normandy and northern region of France, as compared to the central nature of the High and Early Gothic in France.
		Here in the late gothic we find a distillation of the earlier visions of Gothic architects and designers in concentrating purely on the experience of light and atmosphere, as the size, grandeur and broad sweeping stone structures of the preceding Cathedrals become boiled down to the bare essentials of ornamentation.

		Gothic art evolved from Romanesque art and lasted from the mid-12th century to as late as the end of the 16th century in some areas.
		The term Gothic was coined by classicizing Italian writers of the Renaissance, who attributed the invention (and what to them was the non-classical ugliness) of medieval architecture to the barbarian Gothic tribes that had destroyed the Roman Empire and its classical culture in the 5th century Ad.
		At the technical level Gothic architecture is characterized by the ribbed vault (a vault in which stone ribs carry the vaulted surface), the pointed arch, and the flying buttress (normally a half arch carrying the thrust of a roof or vault across an aisle to an outer pier or buttress).

		Gothic architects designed town halls, royal palaces, courthouses and hospitals, they fortified cities and castles to defend lands against invasion, and they created bridges and hostelries to facilitate communication.
		The Gothic interpretation of this point of view was a monument that seems to dwarf the man who enters it, for space, light, structure and the plastic effects of the masonry are organized to produce a visionary scale.
		Gothic was not dark, massive, and contained, like the older Romanesque style, but light, open and aerial, and its appearance in all parts of Europe had an enduring effect on the outlook of succeeding generations.

		Gothic architecture has always been seen as symbolism for a dark, mysterious and deeply religious era in time, with the powerful meaning of its cathedrals still rising out of modern day villages and communities.
		Late Gothic is most identified by the flamboyant style, which comes from the French term for "flame-like." The ornamentation is very lacy and flame-like, with many small detailed perforations, multiple buttressing, and a slight Celtic-Germanic style.
		Gothic architecture has continued to influence modern day architects and builders, and the Gothic style is definitely one that continues to appeal to the modern day populace.

		English late Gothic architecture, such as the east face of Wells (1323-1338) and the nave of Canterbury (1379-1405), favours complex mouldings around the arches, ornamental niches and canopies, and the extension of tracery across walls and windows.

		With the Gothic design a distinction developed between the laity in the nave and the intellectual religious community, arrayed in the choir behind the altar.
		Two significant developments in the evolution of the Gothic style occurred at the end of the twelfth century, when galleries were dispensed with and the overall size of cathedrals was vastly increased.
		Late Gothic Revival structures were characterized by a "smoother" design and were often constructed in masonry--usually stone, if available.

		The Gothic style began with the architecture of the 12th century, at the height of the Middle Ages, when Europe was putting the memory of the ``Dark Ages'' behind it and moving into a radiant new era of prosperity and confidence.
		This quality, which first appeared in the work of Italian artists in the late 13th century, became the dominant painting style throughout Europe until the end of the 15th century.
		As a result, the end of the Gothic timeline overlaps with both the Italian and the Northern Renaissance timelines.

	The Gothic Cathedral
		Characterized by the round "roman-like" arches that are the key aspect of each and every church, the Romanesque style is the pre-cursor to the Gothic movement in architecture.
		Dominating the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, this is the style that was responsible for the earliest of the Gothic monuments.
		It is during this time that the first steps are taken to bring the element of natural light into the building as a matter of design rather than for utilitarian purposes.

		Gothic cathedrals are structurally, but not formally, symmetrical-that is, a tower is opposite a tower, but the towers need not be identical in size or shape.
		The southern tower dates from before 1194 and reflects the transition from Late Romanesque to Early Gothic.
		The northern tower, begun in 1507, which is taller, thinner and more elaborate than the southern tower, is Late Gothic.

		Gothic architecture prevailed in Western Europe from about 1200 to the beginning of the Renaissance (late 14 - 16th century.) The term "Gothic" was first used during the Renaissance in a derogatory manner to describe those buildings that departed from Greek and Roman models.
		Indeed, Gothic cathedrals bear little in common with classical buildings with their high vaulted ceilings, lancet windows, and buttresses.
		The entrances of Gothic cathedrals are often recessed and ornamented with relief sculpture.

	Late English gothic
		One result of England's late arrival on the scene was that the gothic style in architecture prevailed longer than on the Continent--which resulted in a wonderful Indian summer, the "perpendicular" style, so called for the design of the vertical tracery in the windows.
		King's College Chapel, Cambridge, and Henry VIII's chapel in Westminster Abbey were built at the peak of the style: the tall, arching gothic windows are still there, but they have become wider and the arch is flatter, to allow more light in.
		Another fine late gothic building is the Abbey at Bath.

		Materials for the study of late Crimean Gothic are very scanty, but that does not mean we cannot get an insight of its grammar and structure by comparing a few elements of Busbeq's vocabulary with Wulfilian grammar and other Germanic tongues.
		This would mean that Crimean Gothic had retained its feminine gender (at the contrary of Danish, for instance, which merged it with masculine into a 'common' gender).
		As a rule, such greetings are at the accusative in Germanic tongues which have not lost their declensions, it is not, therefore, unreasonnable to suppose it was so in Crimean Gothic too.

		The term "Gothic" was first used to describe this new trend in architecture, and then later used to classify both sculpture and painting.
		Beyond that, the cathedral is all Gothic: the balanced harmony, the detailed timpanums, the rose window in the center, and the elegant flying buttresses and arches around the circumference of the structure.

		"Late Gothic" is a name for a new style of art that emerged in the low countries, Flanders and the Netherlands starting about 1420, just after the Italian Renaissance started in Florence.
		Certainly there are medieval elements in the style, however it is characterized by an intense realism that thrusts itself on the viewer which is more characteristic of the Renaissance than of art of the middle ages.
		So "Late Gothic" may be a bit of a misnomer, "Early Northern Renaissance" might be better.
